We'll be singing chanteys from African American and West Indies origin and influence: work songs of sailors, fishermen, oarsmen and longshoremen. The choruses are easy to learn, and everyone will be encouraged to sing along.

The park's standard admission fees apply(good for all the ships that are open to the public): Adults, $5. Ages 15 and under, free. Free with national park passes. No reservations needed. Purchase boarding passes at the ticket booth, located halfway along Hyde Street Pier. http://www.nps.gov/safr/
